So We Can Glow: Stories by Leesa Cross-Smith
4.0
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I’m not usually a short story reader, so I wasn’t sure how I’d respond to reading a collection. While I didn’t enjoy all the stories equally, I did really appreciate the variety of female experiences and characters represented in this volume. These stories seemed to encapsulate the complexity of many female experiences.
I also really loved it when some of the stories connected to each other and how I could see what happened to some of the characters later on in their lives. I found each of those stories to be fun, surprising discoveries.
This book definitely made me curious about other short story collections, so it may be a genre that I add to my repertoire.
